South Australian juries and reading test reform debate
The Times critiques Judge Crawford for restricting jurors to those who can read and write, arguing such reform ignores intelligence and conscience. It recalls a libel trial where the jury found no malice, yet awarded a shilling damages, highlighting the uncertain law and questioning how literacy relates to understanding written documents. The piece notes Crawford did not claim to define libel authoritatively and mocks the jury’s failure to follow his malice ruling.
